CALVIN HARRIS, CAMILA CABELLO, DUA LIPA, BIFFY CLYRO SET FOR DUNDEE BIG WEEKEND

 HE might be wanting to change his name to Love    Regenerator but Calvin Harris is keeping his old name as he comes to Dundee to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend. 

 

The Dumfries born star will be playing the line up alongside Dua Lipa, who of course he had the massive hit One Kiss with in 2018. 

Ayrshire rockers Biffy Clyro have also been announced for the gig at Camperdown Park on May 22-24 as well as the huge Camila Cabello who is currently dating Shawn Mendes. 

AJ Tracey will also play with more acts to be announced. 

Radio 1 breakfast host Greg James announced the news this morning on BBC Radio 1 amid hopes that Scotland would be chosen to host the event once again. 

Glasgow played host to the fest in 2018 with acts like Ed Sheeran, The Vamps and Rita Ora and Perth’s Scone Palace was also a venue in 2013 when Lady Gaga played. 

Theshowbizlion.com has had the pleasure of attending Big Weekend before and it is a festival and a half. 

In Perth we were actually mistaken for Lady Gaga and ended up posing for pics and even got a discount on a sweatshirt we fancied from one of the on-site shops there! 

Dundee is Scotland's fourth largest city, and last played host to the Big Weeekend back in 2006.

Tickets are free and will be made available by application and through competitions on Radio 1. 

SHAWN MENDES DOES SIGNING AND SELFIES OUTSIDE GLASGOW HOTEL

STITCHES singer Shawn Mendes got hundreds of screaming youngsters to line up outside his hotel as he held an impromptu selfie session in Glasgow.
Heartthrob Shawn, who performs at the SSE Hydro on Thursday for the start of his 2017 world tour had spent the day inside the venue rehearsing with his team.


Shortly after eight pm he emerged from the back door of the venue and made his way to his hotel in his silver people carrier only to be met by a mob of fans.
Instead of shying away from them, they were asked to form an orderly queue while Shawn posed for selfies with each one of them.


Shawn, who has been here for a few days and even managed to check out some of the cities bars while he's been here said: "It's great to meet everyone in Glasgow. I love you guys."
The 18 year old Canadian singer has just streamed his new single There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back.


His tour will take in places including Manchester, London, Germany, Spain and Portugal before heading to Canada then Stateside.
